Arrangements have been made at Santa Fe, New Mexico, whereby the big copper mine at San Pedro is again to resume operations.

A man known as "Scotty" was kicked to death by saloon keeper named Ed ward Shaul, at Granite, Colorado. Saiur- day. The affair originated in dispute over a bill a $a, which the saloon keeper maintained was due from '.Scot- ty." Unable to secure this amount, Shaul opened an assault on "Sco,iy," and was compelled by the bystanders to desis.. Not satisfied with the punish ment he had inflicted upon the unfoitu- nate man, Shaul made second attack. and administered merciless beating with his boot heels. "Scotiy" was Ieu- dered unconscious by this, and after a few gasps lay over and died. Upon ex- animation It was found the neck had been broken. The murderer was ar- rested and is now in jail

A place on earth has been found where taxes are unknown. It Is a territory bordering on the northern line of Lin coin county, Me. called "Hibbert's Gore" It contains 334 acres of land and ten fou,ishing families. It IS bounded by the lines of three coun- ues, Knox, Lincoln and Wald O. but it is not claimed by either. The inhabitants do not maintain municipal organization, and cannot vote for gov ernor, president, members of the legis- lature, or town officers, but they are contented with their lot, have fine farms and good roads, their pork barrels and potato bins are open to one another, and they do not care snap for politics. This community comes as near to hay ing Utopia as community ever did.

csuraAl Aa,xouA.s CLIMATE.

The following concerning the climate of Arizona is taken from Judge ONeill's recent publication entitled. Central Ari- zona for Homes, for Health. for Wealth"
 The most attractive feature of Central Anzona is its climate-a climate that all the superlatives of the language cannot do justice to. Distinctions of latitude and altitude, isothermal hnes, m fact all the stock in trade of the meterolegist ai- lords no methods by. which its excellent qualities may be elucidated. What Italy might be from . climatic standpoint if freed from its miasmatic poisoas. Cen ral Arizona is On no other portion of the globe. unless it be the high plateaux Of the Himalayas or Andes. can such a flawlen climate be found. The altitude is just sufficient to give the air bracing quality without subjecting t to rare6ca- ton that necessitates any over-taxation of the lungs. The wonderful clearness of the atmosphere is subject of con- stant comment from all unacquainted with its peculiarities. Its clearness in the matter of vision is most deceptive. Objects thirty or forty miles distant are seen with clearness of outline and perspective that good field-glass could not develop at distance Of less than ten miles on either the Pacific or Atlantic coast While other portions of the ter ritory are subjected to extreme heat and cold, the climate of Central Arizona in this respect is most equable--its average annual mean temperature. as shown by the records of the United States signal service offices at WhippIe Barracka Date Greek, Wickenburg and Fort Verde. for the last ten years being but a fraction under sS degrees Farenheit. the climate being in this respect identical with that of Southern California.
 But while the mean annual tempera- ture of Southern California and Central Arizona are so similar. there are other factors. which combine to make the cli- mates of the tvo sections almost dia- metrically opposite. The atmosphere Of Southern California, heavily charged with moisture, is. during times of high temperature, close and oppressive, caus- ing respiration to be laborious. while the entire system seems to be suffering from extreme exhaustion and lassitude after the slightest mental or physical exertion. In the months of lower temperature the superabundant moisture is still more dis ageeably felt ln the form of fogs. during the prevalence Of which an universal in- 6uenza seems to rule so supremely as to exclude from consideration all the ether ills that flesh is heir to- In Central Arizona how different are the climatolog- ical conditions presented in this respect A dry, rari6ed atmosphere, filled with oxygen and ozone, prevails throughout the year, and endows one with renewed vitality at each inhalation. The waste and refuse tissue is. through its agency, eliminat ed from the system with ra- pidity unknown where the air is more humid. the result being a greater mental and physical vigor and increased ability to sustain longer protracted continuity of thought or more manual efforts"

The Reayis-Peralta land grant busi- ness, after slumbering for years, is again coming prominently before the public, and this time, it is said, for settlement. It seems as if the woes of Arizona were never to end. First comes the Apaches, and then the land-grabbers and black mailers. It behooves the people to unite and protect their homes against the whole host of frauds. We do not think that Reaves can make good his enormous pretensions, but we do be- lieve that he can do much to tempora- rily unsettle titles and cause their legit- innate owners some trouble. We have given the people the eextent of his claims and now we trust they wll govern themselves accordingly. Fight the devil with fire.-Citisen.

 The Atlantic and Pacific railroad company is advertising the sale of it's lands, some l3.000O00 acres, lying between the Rio Grande and the Colo rado 1ivers, the altitude of which varies from . few hundred to 5000 feet above the sea level. Large areas of the grant are densely wooded with valuable pine and cedar timber, which make lumber of the finest grades. Rich, nutritious grasses abound on almost the entire grant Water is well distributed over the entire area by the Rio Grande, the Rio Puerco, the San Jose, the Little and Great Colorado rivers, and by many creeks ahd springs. Considera- ble areas in the vicinity of these streams are we'll adapted to agriculture by irri- gation, and da small area in the vicinity of the San FrAncisco mountains, in this county, produces the finest wheat, barley, potatoes and all root crops with out irrigation.

"when the lion shall eat straw like the OK" he may change his mind but not till then.-New York Ledger.

While recently in New York ex-Sen- ator Malone called on the officers of the American protective Tariff league. In conversation with one them he sand : Virginia can be carried on the tariff Il it can be forced upon the democrats. They want to avoid It, say that it Is not an issue and desire to talk upon home questions. We don't kno what shape the issues may take untIl after the state convention next month. The great mass of our people are in favor of pro- tection If the question is fairly presented. They are attracted to old traditions, and party ties are strong. They are slow to move. but when they see their best interests they will follow 1t. The trouble has been in presenting the tariff to them. Thousands of documents and tracts have been distributed, but usually they talk over, and not to the average Vlrglnian. There are thousands of our people engaged in numbering. and they know what the duty of $s for I,ooo feet ou sawed lumber means. In cer- tain parts of the state where there is . great development of coal and iron the necessity of a tariff needs no other argu- ment. They are already donv erted, and if the issue is made political they will be overwhelmingly for protection. Political speeches have ther uses, and documents help to inform them, but the people are learning for themselves by practical every day observance, that the protective system is for their best inter ests, and in time Virginia will range or that side as surely as Pennsylvania" - Ex
